January 7, 2020-
Having my little family here
is a perfect occasion
for cementing my own ties
and building a sense of extended family
between son and daughter-in-law
with the Baha’i friends whom he knew
as a youth,
and with other dear friends,
whom he met for the first time,
and she for the second time, today.
It reminds me, that I have
at least one indelible tie here,
regardless of where life takes me.
It reminds me, too, that there are those
who will ever have my back,
and I, theirs,
for as long as we draw breath,
and beyond.
Lovely once again!

Hi Traveler,
I think it is crucial to have at least a few choice people, we know would always have our backs. If we have that we are fortunate indeed. I know, for myself, that I have a choice group of friends in my “tribe” who will always have my back at a moments notice, or any phone call. And it is good that you got to share those special people with your son, and his wife. So that they know, in case something happens to us, that they know that others have our backs. How fortunate you are to have your tribe as I am mine.
